Nextday
Finds the Next Working Day even if holidays are in the way.
Extends Date

and DateTime
to allow you to find the next working day
Nextday only checks for English public holidays at the moment, I aim to extend it to support locales in the near future.

DateTime.today.working_day?
Time.now.working_day?
When will an item be despatched?

Rack Application
To make caching easier you can mount the Nextday::JSON
in your application so you can poll it every few minutes and have next to real time data.
It will return so:
{
"cut_off_time": "16:00",
"working_day": false,
"next_working_day": "2012-06-11",
"previous_working_day": "2012-06-08",
"despatch_day": "2012-06-11",
"delivery_day": "2012-06-12"
}
Rails
require 'nextday/json'
YourAmazing::Application.routes.draw do
mount Nextday::JSON.new, :at => "/nextday.json"
end
Configuration
To set the cut off time to a different value:
Nextday::Config.cut_off_time = "18:47"
Installation
To use with bundler add nextday to your gem file.
gem 'nextday'
